NAME
tau2profile - convert TAU tracefiles to TAU profile files
SYNOPSIS
tau2vprofile [-d directory] [-s snapshot_interval] {tau_tracefile}
{tau_eventfile}
DESCRIPTION
This program is generated when TAU is configured with the -TRACE
option.
The tau2profile converter takes a single tau_tracefile (*.trc) and
tau_eventfile (*.edf) and produces a corresponding series of profile
files. The input files must be specified in that order, with optinal
parameters coming afterward. Multi-file TAU traces must be merged
before conversion.
OPTIONS
-d Output profile files to the specified ’directory’ rather than the
current directory.
-s Output a profile snapshot showing the state of the profile data
accumulated from the trace every ’snapshot_interval’ time units. The
snapshot profiles are placed sequentially in directories labled
’snapshot_n’ where ’n’ is an integer ranging from 0 to to the total
number of snapshots -1.
EXAMPLES
The program must be run with the tau trace and tau event files
specified in the command line in that order. Any additional arguments
follow. The following will produce a profile file array, from the TAU
trace and event files merged.trc and tau.edf trace file:
tau2profile merged.trc tau.edf
The following will convert merged.trc and tau.edf to a series of
profiles one directory higher. It will also produce a profile snapshot
every 250,000 time units:
tau2profile merged.trc tau.edf -d ./.. -s 250000
